Nike SB has put a fresh twist on the standard P.Rod IV skate shoe with their Paul Rodriquez inspired SB Vulc Rod shoes. This new shoe is produced with vulcanized rubber to have a leaner profile and an extra durable rubber mid sole. The top side of the shoe is made of suede which makes for a great look and provides ultimate comfort. These shoes not only look good but are made for performance so is a herringbone traction pattern on the outsole which provides maximum traction on a variety of surfaces.
